World-Class Golf with a Sea View

Ekerum Resort Öland is one of Sweden’s most awarded golf destinations — a multi-time winner of Sweden’s Best Golf Hotel at the World Golf Awards. Located just 10 km south of Borgholm along the Kalmar Strait, the resort offers 54 holes across four courses, from championship layouts to a beginner-friendly Pitch & Putt. Whether you’re a scratch golfer or picking up a club for the first time, Ekerum has a course for you.

The two full 18-hole courses wind through classic Öland terrain with limestone outcrops, sea breezes, and panoramic views across the strait to the mainland. The 9-hole course is a solid middle ground, while the par-27 Pitch & Putt is perfect for families or a quick evening round. Beyond golf, the resort has six padel courts (four doubles, two singles), two hardcourt tennis courts, and a spa with sauna and hot tub — ideal for winding down after a day on the links.
